Hi all,
I found some hints to CSV in the wiki, but they all refer to tables.
What are the building block to create business cards from a csv file?
My business-card.tex looks like this:
\starttext
{\bf Vorname Name}\\
Function
\blank
Company\\
Street\\
PLZ City\\
Germany\\
Telefon: 12345678\\
name@example.com\\
www.example.com\\
\stoptext
In pseudo code I think something like this could work:
for i in csv:
{\bf $Vorname $Name}\\
$Function
\blank
$Company\\
$Street\\
etc.
\page
The variables ($Vorname, $Name etc) could be named according to the
columns in the first row in the csv-file.
Each row starting from the second is creating a page (business card).
TIA
juh

Hi Jan Ulrich,
there is a module that does it (handlecsv, which comes with the ConTeXt
Suite [I wrote the documentation for it]):
I attach both the ConTeXt source and a sample CSV file. It could be a
good starting point.
Just in case it helps,
Pablo
